First I will give you a little history. This breeder was recommended to me by who I thought was a friend.(not a yorkietalk member by the way)
This third party( not ready to give this name yet) and I had spoke many times. The person is a show breeder, and I had alot of respect for them. If they said something I believed them, they had gained my trust thru many, many conversations and meeting them once at a show. I really felt they had my best interest in mind. I thought this person was my mentor. One day I got a phone call that this person's long time good friend, show breeder of 30+ yrs had two older AKc champion sired females they were willing to release with open registration to a good home. They were offering them to ME and I was completely thrilled!!! This was my oppurtunity to try to improve my dogs outward/cosmetic appearance and this person knew that, because we had talked many times at length about it. I felt I was being entrusted with many yrs of careful breeding. I felt honored. I felt more compelled to do the right thing more then ever.
I asked for the breeder's address to send the deposit money, but my friend told me to send it to their house. And I did, never even questioned it. I had a deposit on the girls for over 2 months. After about a month of sending the deposit I asked for the breeders phone number, I wanted a picture, more info, I was excited.................but my so called friend acted like it was top secret.............and I was still an idiot!
One day I got a phone call from my friend, that the two girls breeder wanted to know when I was picking them up........she wanted to go on vacation. I said I will make arrangements ASAP for the drive ..............and I did. ...........I was told they wouldnt be ready until 2 weeks later but I didnt question it, they wanted them picked up. I felt I was lucky. I stayed local, thought I met my mentor, thought I had met the right people.
Its been over 3 months now, and all I get is a song and dance.......or another excuse.........or another sickness. Or no contact.
I first posted on this in September........see this thread

But now you can read the whole story except the very end.
